I was talking about AWB though. I really like Varane. He'd be a superb signing if we can pull it off.

Why everytime I see your comment, you always talk about AWB. You talk about AWB in Lindelof's thread, in Maguire's thread, in Ole's thread, in every feckin thread and now Varane's thread. Just give it a rest mate.
 
Varane is not a leader. He needs the team around to perform. He is a beast of defender if properly fuelled.

Current United squad and Ole who elevates players is THE place to “start a new challenge”. Also, Premier League is the world stage nowadays. Gone are days of Messi-Ronaldo La Liga.

Money is not the only reason.
 
Hand on heart I think we have a better side than Madrid.
Absolutely agree. That is an aging and weakening squad. They are also not doing great financially so their rebuild could take a while. Don't understand the Mbappe to Real talk, unless they plan on trying to get him for free next summer. Varane is making a smart move in coming to us. Have a feeling we're going to have a really good season.
 
I’m kinda over it though. We need a defender who can deal with counter attacks and is quick enough to track back. Having two old and slow defenders in Maguire and Varane would expose us badly.
What on Earth makes you believe Varane is slow? He is one of the quickest centre backs I’ve seen!
 
Looks like Real lost to Rangers in their pre-season friendly with Nacho sent off :nervous:

He certainly is and my only concern is in a lot of clips i have seen he uses that pace to make up for lack of positioning at times a bit like Wan Bisakka
 
Ps, what are all these "moon" comments? Reminds me too much of the noisy neighbours. Don't like it personally.

Another Pogba?

There have always been talk about Varane that he needs world class players around him to perform. He’s played with the best midfield in the world in front of him and Ramos behind him.
It will be interesting to finally see him in another environment (McFred).

Let’s not kid ourselves. Money is always a big reason. Why would we otherwise need to offer him the highest salary in United and one of the highest in the whole PL?
 
Seems others are reporting it now with a slight price increase and the ones that reported it earlier are putting it out again but just phrasing it differently.
I do hope its not like last weekend everyone thought it was done and then nothing.

If it's about the money, he'll play out his last season and then get big sign on bonus and big wages.

For the elite players, it's not just about the money. They don't become elite with money being their biggest motivator.
 
Adding Sancho and Varane to the squad after finishing second and losing a final must be such a boost for the whole squad. Hard to not get excited if this goes through.

Seems to good to be truth that both could make their debut against Leeds.

I didn't bring him up. Go look.
